BOOKS and MUSIC:
See
http://www.amazon.com. Not that you have to get them there, but it's easy for me to list lots of
things. I'm pretty picky about books and music. Remember that if you see I have
a number of things listed by one author/band, but not a particular item,
it almost certainly means either I already have that one, or I don't want
it.
CLOTHES: I am very difficult to buy clothes for. I'm aware of
that fact. I don't really need clothes, but if you really want to, I wear
a size 28 skirt and a 26 top. Shoes are probably a better bet, I wear
size 13 girls, or size 5 women's. I don't wear plaid, velvet, heels,
shirts with buttons, yellow, orange, blue, pink, or pastels. I'm allergic
to wool and other scrathcy things. Scarves are great as long as they are
large enough to cover my hair and opaque. I have no use for sheer
scarves.
CRAFTS AND NOTIONS:
- Fabric. Green, Purple, Black, Red, White. No velvet. At least 6 yards at a time. (Less than 6 yards is rarely enough to make anything neat)
- stone beads
- silver beads
- white silk
- canvases (for painting on) larger is better.
- water-soluable oil paints
- acrylic paints in tubes
- artists's brushes
JEWELERY: NO EARRINGS! My ears ARE NOT pierced! Should you for
some reson feel the need to buy me jewelery that requires holes, I have
14 gaugue and 12 gague holes in my tongue. Silver bangle bracelets are ALWAYS good.
My hands are very small, so please make sure the bracelets are not very
big. I can't possibly have too many. Also, anything with temple bells.
I am allergic to nickle, which means I am also allergic to most metal costume jewelery, and I am also allergic to gold (unless its >24 ct.). I don't especially like gold anyway. If you should ever
see copper jewelery, copper is my very favorite metal.
ART:
Here are some prints I like:
at Art.com. Here's
I have a double-sized bed. My room is primarily purple and green.
- Arabesque housewares of any kind (sheets, rugs, curtains, etc)
- Small glass bottles with caps or corks (for putting potions, medicines, etc in)
- Laboratory glassware (I use it for brewing, cooking, and making potions and perfumes and stuff.
- Nice pots and pans
- Frames, any size of, 8.5x11 very good. reddish woods, silver, copper best.
Middle Eastern Trinkets and Doodahs.
In Pittsburgh, these
can be found at Nick's Import's in the South Side. In
Lancaster, at the hallal grocer on New Holland Pk, south of the old HACC.
I don't know about elsewhere.
